Typically how long will it take swelling from arm lift to subside completely?

Question

Joubin Gabbay, MD · Answer

Typically it will take at least three months for the majority of your swelling to go away. That said, it can take up to a year to see your final results. Stay patient and stay in touch with your surgeon. It is imperative
that you seek the advice of a plastic surgeon who is certified by the American
Board of Plastic Surgery and has extensive experience in brachioplasty / arm
lift.

I wish you the best.

Dr. Gabbay.

Jeffrey D. Wagner, MD · Answer

Most swelling ought to resolve in 6 weeks or so, but it is likely that at least some edema may persist longer, up to about 3 months after this procedure, if properly performed.  In a few cases, prolonged edema is possible.

Tom J. Pousti, MD · Answer

Thank you for the question. Generally, it takes several months for swelling to completely dissipate and even longer for patients to appreciate the final outcome of the procedure performed. Best wishes.

Lee E. Corbett, MD · Answer

It will take several weeks if not months for all of the swelling to subside and it will linger the most down by the elbow. Compression and massage can help. Check with your doctor for  specifics.
